So it's effectively opt-in then? It strikes me as odd that this wasn't clearly communicated in the blog post, and even more odd that phrasing like "At that point, we’ll also provide guidance on how you can opt out if you’d like to" was used.

It sounds pretty clear it's not opt-in. They'd just say so if it was.
You're not going to have to hunt around in the settings to consent to telemetry, no, but we're also not going to collect without consent. We're in the early stages, so this is subject to change. Still, our design team shared this mockup that may help visualize the direction we plan on taking if we move forward with a customer-facing rollout of telemetry.

I'm no longer a 1Password user due to a number of extremely user-hostile behaviors, but credit where it's due -- this mock-up, if implemented, will be far better than I feared.
I'm sorry to hear that has been your experience with 1Password. I appreciate the comment. I've shared that feedback with our design team.
